[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize we've had one of the worst cold and flu and COVID and whatever else communicative disease seasons ever?

That parents are having a hard time finding kids ibuprofen and other over the counter kids meds?

That you can't send your kid to daycare when they're sick?[/quote]

Seriously.  My kid has had rsv, Covid, the stomach flu, and 2-3 other colds where I couldn’t send her to daycare. All in the last 3 months. UGH!

I have tons of sick and annual leave and would love to just take off for a couple of days to take care of her (and to take care of myself after I get sick too), but my office is too busy for me to use that sick leave, so I take care of my kiddo while working a full day (switch off childcare with my spouse). So not only does the baby occasionally cry, she makes full appearances on many of my meetings.

If anyone complains, I’m more than happy to take leave….but my boss hasn’t said a peep, and I’m pretty sure that he won’t ever do so, since he wants me to keep working. [/quote]
